I don't own any of the kits. I'm going FI for sure, I'm just weighing the options, hence my point of view as a potential customer. The SBD kit was on the top of my list until I saw this new base kit.

Is this the same kit that is now being offered at 2999$?

Judging by his ig pictures, it is. I'll try to share the pics for those of you who don't have it.

How do you like it? How long have you had it? What kinda power are you putting down? (i realize its built so probably more than it would be normally)

The intercooler is the same size as SBD/Greddy. We do outsource the intercooler and piping in this particular kit as it helps keep costs down and eases production.

It works well for majority of setups out there...if you're on a built motor and aiming for 450+ whp I'd suggest otherwise, which we can easily accommodate.

But again...just hearsay. Trying to find out for myself as i'm going to be switching form my Edelbrock to a Turbo once the Edelbrock warranty is up and i'm currently leaning towards the SBD 400x.

We can do a Precision 5431 MFS turbo for $0 additional if by performance you mean dyno numbers, so I'm not sure where the 5k came from.

The base turbo in our kits is a 48mm. SBD's is a 52mm. All things equal a larger turbo will make more peak power.

Our kit has the following Standard:

-Thick wall manifold with lifetime warranty ( no brace/mount needed)

-Investment cast true merge collector with proper wastegate entry for no boost creep

-External Precision (The actual brand...) Wastegate

- 3" Downpipe standard

- Precision ( Once again the actual brand..) Turbocharger

- TurboSmart Blow off valve

Our kit also gives you room to grow in the future as the Manifold and downpipe are flanged for fairly universal turbo setups.

What else is needed to install the new kit? crash bar modifications?

@JDLAutoDesign

Can you add a recirculated dump option for those of us looking to stay a little more tame in the exhaust department? And how much extra would that run?

Alltezza · 02-22-2017, 03:37 PM

How loud is open dump? Is it really that bad?

He can definitely recirculate the waste gate back into the exhaust

It's pretty loud. Some people don't mind. It's preference, but I really don't care for it.
